For me I have them grouped in categories. I focus on collecting by Comedy/Drama/Horror etc

When I get done with one category I go to the next one. In October I focus on the Horror titles and have a marathon


How do you collect ?

How do I collect? Well, I could either go buy them from the local stores, or order them online and wait a whopping 3-7 days for delivery. On occasion, I might also check the local blu garden to see if a fresh crop is growing; then I might harvest them. Also found a few under a rock once...

Hm, maybe people will start geocaching BDs...

Seriously though, I focus on:

1. Any interesting new titles. If it's something I have seen and liked and want to see again, I'll add it to my wishlist (or buy it right away if I really want it, which I do more often than not). If it's something that I haven't seen before, I'll either rent it or just blind-buy it; it all depends.
2. Titles I already own on DVD, because I'd rather downsize my DVD collection to save shelf space and increase the quality of the films I own. So if I see catalogue titles on sale, or if new ones come up for preorder, I'll order them.
3. All of the above in the form of steelbooks, exclusive editions, special editions, imports, etc. But I will only get this kind of thing if I don't already own a title on BD...usually...
4. May consider upgrading an existing BD (double dipping ) if a new edition comes out with better PQ or more extras, or if a box set comes out with other movies I don't have.
